Animated flag texture question.

Hello all.

I would like to add an animated flag to my Low poly Rocket scene.

I have started creating it. I even managed to animate it, to my surprise lol.

What is the best way to apply a flag texture to it?

Also, I am creating it in a separate file to the rocket scene.

Can I easily import it to the rocket scene or should I create it within the rocket scene?

Cheers :)

    I create a flag before, I think there was a course on cgcookie on flags but I can't find it now.  That would be my first choice but if you can't locate that tutorial here's another one off youtube:

    Basically I think I just got a flag image, then created a plane that was the same dimensions in the height and width as the flag and used the flag as an image texture. Then you pin one side of the flag (subdivide the mesh up) using a vertex group of all the vertices on 1 side of the flag. From then on out it's using a soft body modifier if I remember correctly. 

    I'm sure that video will walk you through it.
